The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It is responsible for
the following: R
anti-corrosion protection R
antifreeze protection R
raising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down to
-35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the coolant
during operation is approximately 266 ‡
(130 †).
The antifreeze concentrate/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should: R
be at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †). R
not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection down
to -49 ‡[ -45 †]) . Otherwise , hea t will no t be
dissipated as effectively.
Mercedes-Ben z recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrat e in accordance
